Getting Error while installing java8 on ubuntu 16.04

I tried to install java 8 on ubuntu 16.04. The steps followed are :

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt install oracle-java8-installer

while running sudo apt install oracle-java8-installer I got the below error.

dpkg: error processing package unattended-upgrades (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127
No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already
Errors were encountered while processing:

Open Terminal -> and do the following steps sequentially:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openjdk-r/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk

and finally type:java -version. This command will show you whether jdk installed in your Ubuntu or not.
